A poignant and tender play that imagines Amelia Earhart fated last journey ending on a desert island with navigator Fred Noonan. It is a story uniquely told by embracing radio drama as a backdrop to the action onstage. It's not InYerFace theatre but subtle, and well-crafted performances from the likes of Lara Lihiya and Jason Britt. ...

The open and close of this show are pretty rough, and I don't know that they are completely needed, but even so it is a solid #SeeItLA. It is a sweet story that posits a possible outcome of Amelia Earhart's fateful last flight, as performed by a set of actors doing a live radio play. Ramona Creel's character was in charge of the sound effects for the radio show, and she did a great job with them. I like that the actors weren't glued to the microphones the whole time and were allowed to get swept up in the story. However, I would have liked them to have spent more time at the microphones to solidify the radio show aspect a bit more. There are definitely aspects of the production that could be improved, but the story is worth seeing....

Very heart-felt, imaginative show. Great acting, and the writing was quite good for the scenes that are "on the air." I'm also a sucker for live foley, so that was a lot of fun, though I almost wish it was utilized more! A lovely show you shouldn't miss....

WHAT IF Aviatrix Amelia Earhart didn't die in the mid-Pacific in 1937 but lived on a desert island? OK: I'll bite! BIG mistake. This cost me 16-1/2 cents per minute, and I regret every penny. Is this the worst play ever written?---Well, it's a contender, and gets the performances it deserves. Worst Supporting Performance of the 2015 Festival: Ramona Creel, who sits onstage during someody else's dialogue scene cranking a Very Loud "cricket" noisemaker for what seems like an hour. (ARE there crickets on a deserted island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean? Nobody seems to have researched THAT, either!) ...
